Alert level has been heightened to Orange. The President fears the
nation has become unafraid. He cautions we are still vulnerable and a
catastrophic terrorist attack is not only inevitable, but probably

carry on with our lives as usual. He warns us not to give in to fear;
if we do, the terrorists will win. So, we now return you to our

Gay Conservative talk host: "We're back. Some weeks ago, Senae
Republicans proposed a constitutional amendment banning gay marriages
in order to protect the sanctity of straight marriages from, who knows,
gay cooties, I guess. The amendment never had a chance, of course. It
had no purpose other than to inflame the electorate!. But as a married
gay couple, Mark and I are puzzled." Mark: "Mystified, really."
"Shouldn't my fellow conservatives support our entering into a union
that promotes commitment, responsibility and fidelity?" "You'd think."

ahead of the curve. Big Whoop!" (Doonesbury: Garry Trudeau)

think it over, El." (Doonesbury: Garry Trudeau)

Fillmore: Bruce Tinsley)

Kerry: "And so we must ask ourselves whether or not it is fair that
under the Bush Administration, one American wins over a million dollars
on 'Jeoprady' while all those other Americans get nothing!" (Mallard
Fillmore: Bruce Tinsley)

Kerry: Is it fair that under the Bush administration, one guy can win
over a million bucks on "Jeopardy" while others get nothing! And all
for answering questions when, as everyone knows, the same question can
have lots of answers depending on what day it is and who you're
speaking to… (Mallard Fillmore: Bruce Tinsley)

Kerry: Under the Bush administration, one man has hogged over one
million bucks on 'Jeopardy' while the rest get nothing. Under my plan,
they'd still get nothing, of course, but with the satisfaction of
knowing we were going to tax Ken Jenning's smarty pants off!" (Mallard
Fillmore: Bruce Tinsley)

"I'm George W. Bush and I approve this message." "Recently urban youth
have been receiving a lot of messages about voting. Some of it may be
confusing.. Is there reading involved? How do I work the voting
machine? Am I legally allowed to vote if I'm a felon? Politics is very
complicated an if you're unsure about the issues or your voting status,
you could be embarrassed even arrested, if you try to vote. And
depending on where you live, your vote may not even count! So before
you get up and go all the way to the polls, ask yourself, 'Is it really
worth it?'" "No Way Homie!!" Sign: Voting: If it ain't worth it, Homie

CIA's fault." Rice: "We still believe that stem cell researchers and

the right thing." Bush: "Regardless of whether or not they were
actually terrorists, we can all agree the world is a better place with
those scientists dead!" (Boondocks: Aaron McGruder)

"Stem cell drama: To weather the storm you must think on your feet:
"Mr. President, did you deliberately exaggerate to the public about the
dangers of stem-cell research." "Um… There's a um… terror alert for um…
this building and" "You tried that yesterday, Mr. President."
(Boondocks: Aaron McGruder)

The Stem wars: Epilogue: Destroy Kerry by asking him a really stupid
question: Bush: "Today, I have a simple yes-or-no question for my
opponent, 'Would you still support the elimination of terrorist stem
cell scientists even if they aren't necessarily terrorists?'" 'cause
he's stupid enough to answer it: Kerry: "I've been very clear on this.

vote, then Latinos would vote all the time! Maybe if voting had a good
layaway plan or charged 2.9% interest, and if 'voting' was a really
tricked out truck!" (La Cucaracha: Luis Alcaraz)

I'ts obvious why Latinos and people in general don't vote. If the
candidates who ran for office were more interesting and had a lot more

Spanish and got a 'B'" "Chong '04 Some pot in every pot." "I see your
point…"(La Cucaracha: Luis Alcaraz)

IN THE NEWS * THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

"Tonight at the Republican National Convention, in what was called the
biggest speach of his career, President Bush took on his enemy, the
English language." --Jay Leno

George Bush accepted the nomination and promised that if he's
re-elected he promised to start reading memos. Thats a good sign.
(David Letterman)

Now that Bush has accepted the nomination the next step, of course, is
the rigging of the voting machines. (David Letterman)

For the first 2 nights, the Republicans played the role of
mild-mannered Bruce Banner -- courageous, compassionate. But last
night, the green, monstrously muscled and angry face they tried to hard
to conceal finally tore through their t-shirt of civility and announced
to the world, you wouldn't like us when we're angry. ... Last night,
the Republican faithful were angry. After four years of being in charge
of the House, Senate, Supreme Court and Executive branch, they were not
gonna take it anymore. ... Yeah! Down with the people who are already
down! (Jon Stewart)

In his speech tonight, President Bush said that America should create
an ownership society. For example, if you're homeless, buy a home.
Don't have a job? Buy a company, give yourself a job. These are simple
solutions. (Jay Leno)

Speaking about President Bush last night, Zell Miller said, 'I have
knocked on the door of this man's soul and found someone home.' See, he
originally tried to knock on the soul of Dick Cheney, but it had
already been sold to the oil companies. So, he went to the president
instead. (Jay Leno)

Don King was at the convention. He is a big Republican. He has given
out a lot of Tyson's money. He wasn't there for the convention. He was
at Madison Square Garden to promote the big Chris Matthews/Zell Miller
fight. ... Zell Miller was just crazy. Chris Matthews was trying to
interview him. The secret service had to take him down with a
tranquilizer (Jay Leno)

That's Democratic Georgia Senator Zell Miller, building that bridge to
the 18th century. (Jon Stewart, on Zell Miller challenging Chris
Matthews to a duel)

There were so many journalists that I actually saw a news anchor being
interviewed by a print journalist while being recorded by a film crew.
(Scott Stantis, The Birmingham News)

Senator Zell Miller addressed the GOP Convention. He was once chief of
staff for Lester Maddox, he nominated Bill Clinton and now he's
endorsed George Bush. If they ever teach evolution in Southern schools,
it will be all about Zell Miller. (Argus Hamilton)

Arnold Schwarzenegger told the convention how he was welcomed to
America when all he could speak was German. That's nothing. His father
could only speak German and he was welcomed to Poland, France, and
Russia, if they knew what was good for them. (Argus Hamilton)

Elsewhere, the security team responsible for the Republican National
Convention was still trying to determine how a lunatic slipped into
Madison Square Garden and delivered the keynote address. (Andy
Borowitz)

decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations should be
allowed make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

All people were created equal but the rich are more equal than others,

One of the things President Bush wants the astronauts to do on the Moon

Iraq. (Bill Williams)

New reports say that when President Bush was in the Air National Guard,
many of his superiors were politically pressured to give him good
evaluations even though he didn't show up for duty. That's kind of like
what happens every day on the FOX News Channel. (Jake Novak)

On the theme of President Bush's acceptance speech at the Republican
National Convention: "In the end, this is an election campaign focused
squarely on the future. ... In other words, vote for George Bush - so

It was so hot, I was sweatin’ like President Bush trying to make up his
mind on the war on terrorism! (Jay Leno)

I told you I was in the National Guard!" (David Letterman)

In a shocking new book by Kitty Kelley, acquaintances of President Bush
say that when he was in the National Guard that he liked to sneak out
back for a joint or go in the bathroom and do cocaine. Isn't that
unbelievable? They actually found people who saw Bush in the National
Guard. (Jay Leno)

According to a new book, when President Bush was on National Guard duty
he would sometimes sneak off to smoke marijuana and snort cocaine. When
he heard this, President Bush said, "That's ridiculous. I never showed
up for National Guard duty."(Conan O'Brien)

During a speech in Poplar Bluff, Missouri Monday, George W. Bush began
to rail against “frivolous [medical] lawsuits” that he claims boost the
price of health care and push doctors out of business. Then he tabled a
strange reason for getting tough on the suits. “We've got an issue in
America. Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many
OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this
country.” He appeared unfazed by his strange choice of words though and
moved on with his speech. (Strange But True)

Millions of Americans tuned in to 60 Minutes this week to see an

coveted job he didn't deserve. But they were all disappointed when it
turned out the guy getting interviewed wasn't Chief Justice Rehnquist.
(Jake Novak)

Recently, President Bush was in Queens, New York. I think this is where
President Bush gets a little confused. Like he told the residents of
Queens that while he respects their lifestyle, he's still against them
getting married." (Jay Leno)

In an interview with USA Today, former first lady Barbara Bush says she
tries to avoid news coverage of world events. So apparently it's
hereditary. (Jay Leno)

One day after Mr. Kerry told a rally that "W stands for wrong,"
President Bush responded, "W stands for wright." (Andy Borowitz)

That's quite a claim that Bush did coke and marijuana. You know who's
going to get hurt by this? John Kerry. This means Bush could now carry
California. (Jay Leno)

President Bush is on the stump. He can relate to military families who
have loved ones in Iraq. When his was in the National Guard, no one
knew exactly where he was either. (Alan Ray)

Cheney warns of risk if rivals win ... 'If we make the wrong choice,
the danger is we'll get hit again by terrorists ... " Doctors say a
heart attack kills off a portion of the heart. Sounds like Dick's
myocardial infarctions did a number on his brain, too. (Wit Wizard)

Cheney: "If you make the wrong choice Nov. 2, we risk another terrorist
strike, along with plague, pestilence, locusts, frogs. Relentless
telemarketers and bubbling pits of burning sulphur, But, heh, it's your
choice." (Stuart Carlson, Milwaukee Sentinel)

President Bush has clarified his position on whether or not the United
States could win the war on terror, telling an audience in Ohio that he
now believes the war on terror would end in a tie. (Andy Borowitz)

Then Cheney said, if Bush wins, I'll call it off. (Conan O'Brien)

Kerry victory in November’s election will result in another terrorist
attack. He also warned that a drunk and celebrating Michael Moore

risk is that President Bush won't be able to find another job. (David
Letterman)

this year. When John Kerry heard this he said, "This is proof that
President Bush is losing the war on weather. (David Leterman)

pummeling him last week. The pictures didn't help. The cameras caught
him wind-surfing, and it occurred to viewers that even his hobby
depends on which way the wind is blowing. (Argus Hamilton)

John Kerry campaigned Monday in West Virginia, where the Democrats own
a wide plurality. The party may be all they have in common. John Kerry
comes from a crowd that thinks Dale Earnhardt was the first woman
aviator to fly across the Pacific. (Argus Hamilton)

Vice-presidential nominee John Edwards today confirmed that he had
become invisible and would remain so for the duration of the campaign.
In a press conference in Davenport, Iowa, the disembodied voice of Mr.
Edwards vowed to use his powers of invisibility "for good, not evil."
(Andy Borowitz)

John Kerry gave a thunderous response in Ohio Thursday to all the
charges made at the convention. He ripped Dick Cheney for avoiding the
draft five times and accused the president of misleading the nation
into war in Iraq. At any minute you expected Teresa to step up and say
that her man takes Cialis because it gives him the response he likes.
(Argus Hamilton)

John Kerry performed with great vigor Thursday after the pounding he
took at the GOP Convention. He must improve his message. It leaves
audiences cross-eyed to hear that we're a great country, we're a
powerful country, and it's time for a change. (Argus Hamilton)

John Kerry told the American Legion Convention meeting in Nashville he
would have done everything differently in Iraq. He drew a full

street to enjoy the chilly reception. (Argus Hamilton)

John Edward’s optometrist disclosed that the vice presidential
candidate of the Democratic ticket suffers from a condition that causes
double vision. “He not only sees two Americas, frankly he sees two of
everything,” his long-term eye doctor said from his office in Raleigh,
North Carolina. (Bob Hirsdhfield)

Responding to calls from Democratic Party insiders to shake up his
listless campaign for president, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass) today changed
his tie. According to those in Mr. Kerry's inner circle, the senator
believes that his new neckwear could close the widening gap in the
polls between him and President George W. Bush. "Bush got a nice bounce
coming out of his convention," Mr. Kerry reportedly told his campaign
aides, "but wait 'til the voters get a load of this new tie." The new
cravat, a satin and twill model from Brooks Brothers, will replace his
old one, a classic repp tie, also from Brooks Brothers. Some Democratic
insiders were harshly critical of Mr. Kerry's decision to change ties,
arguing that the move fell far short of the wholesale shakeup they had
been hoping for. (Andy Borowitz)

John Kerry campaigned on front porches in Pennsylvania and Minnesota
this week. He likes to talk to small groups. It takes time for each
voter to sit on the candidate's lap and whisper into his ear exactly
what he wants for Election Day. (Argus Hamilton)

John Kerry hired former Clinton spokesman Joe Lockhart Monday and
recruited the advice of former Clinton masterminds Paul Begala and
James Carville. He's pulling out all the stops to win. John Kerry
telephoned Hillary Clinton Sunday night at the hospital and said if she
ever finds herself single, he has always loved her. (Argus Hamilton)

Since the Republican National Convention, Kerry has been slipping in
the polls. I think he's lost his confidence -- all week he's been
telling people it's an honor just to be nominated. (David Letterman)

John Kerry has a new theme to his campaign. He says the 'W' in George
W. Bush stands for 'wrong', the wrong direction, the wrong policy. Gee,
I wonder if President Bush is going to say the 'F' in John F. Kerry
stands for 'flip-flop.' What, are they running for the president of the
8th grade? Shut up! Actually, Bush got the last laugh, he said, "Hey,
everybody knows 'wrong' starts with the letter 'R.'" (Jay Leno)

Pundits are saying that Kerry's message is garbled. You know you're
doing badly when you're running against Bush and you're the one who is
garbled. (David Letterman)

John Kerry said Bush's middle initial 'W' stands for 'Wrong.' ... And
Bush fired back today, saying the 'F' in John F. Kerry stands for
'Phony.' (Jay Leno)

Iraq. And then as the doctors wheeled him away, he asked him to win one

surgery Monday at New York's Presbyterian Hospital/ Columbia. It's a

Apparently, there were warning signs something was up. Like when
President Clinton started grabbing his own chest for a change. (Jay
Leno)

scandal. (Jake Novak)

The anesthesiologist had a news conference today and he said they had a
little problem using the gas on Bill Clinton to put him under,
apparently they couldn't get him to inhale. ... They couldn't get him
to go under. Luckily John Kerry called, spoke to him for ten minutes,
and he was out like a light. (David Letterman)

Former President Bill Clinton had quadruple bypass surgery earlier
today and apparently the surgery went fine and he's going to be just
great, so that's good news. I had five bypasses, he had four.

doing jokes about him again. (David Letterman)

four years ago he had what is called an oval office bypass (David
Letterman)

Hospital on Monday. His doctor at the press conference described his
condition as sedated but still arousable. Only one hour after the
operation, he took a turn for the nurse. (Argus Hamilton)

As you know, this whole thing came as quite a shock to most people
because when you see Clinton, he looks great, doesn't he? He's slim,
he's trim, he looks like the picture of health. Here's my question -
what the hell is keeping Michael Moore alive? (Jay Leno)

Bill Clinton was the subject of intense medical scrutiny Monday to see
if he can recover in time to save the Democrats from defeat in
November. He's done it again. For the fourth consecutive national
election, it's going to be All About Bill. (Argus Hamilton)

Former President Clinton is recovering from heart bypass surgery, but
his doctors are keeping him sedated. That should help him heal faster,
and give his nurses a few days of peace before he starts trying to grab
them again. (Jake Novak)

recovering nicely. The doctors told him he can resume having sex in
about two weeks. And Hillary said, "If he does, I'll kill him." (David
Letterman)

bypass surgery in New York. Even his operation had political

took him off a nurse. (Conan O'Brien)

For 73 minutes during the surgery, Clinton had no pulse, no heartbeat.
Just like the Kerry campaign. (David Letterman)

fired his publicist today and warned that more changes in the Qaeda
publicity department may be imminent. (Andy Borowitz)

Al Qaeda leader Aymin al-Zawahiri is featured in a new video blasting
the U.S. It's hard to tell what's more embarrassing: the fact that he's

the TelePrompTer much better than Tom Brokaw. (Jake Novak)

of the year. But, the oil companies say no, no, no - it'll go down to
$3 a gallon by the end of the year. (Jay Leno)

President Bush's budget deficit is supposed to be stimulating job
growth. By that reckoning, the government input of an excess $500
billion this year should have produced 10 Million new jobs, each at
$50,000 annual compensation. (Bob Dvorak)

After years of criticism, Disney CEO Michael Eisner announced today

he was thinking when they opened Euro Disney and California Adventure.
(Jake Novak)

"practically almost just about over," declaring, "We has turned the
corner." Critics remind the president that this is the fourth time this
year she has said we have "turned the corner," which, assuming we're
not turning in random directions, would put us right back where we
started. (Doug Robarchek, Charlotte Observer)

blame on the Jews. (Jake Novak)

IN THE NEWS * HEALTH & SCIENCE

Bush to media: "The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth went to the African
Coast and guess what they found? A huge revolving hydromatrix generator

Prozac in the shape of a breast, the world will be rid of psychiatry.
(Fred Barling)

Men's Health predicted super-long lifespans in America due to much

bread, tobacco, sex, caffeine and alcohol, and he was healthy right up
to the day he killed himself. (Argus Hamilton)

UCLA hospital warned couples Wednesday not to use ultrasound machines
to take pre-natal baby snapshots. Sometimes pictures are essential. One

agreed to produce a situation comedy about his life as a college
basketball coach. The show is slated to begin airing next year. The

IN THE NEWS * ENTERTAINMENT

rental agreement is a bit tacky. "On the third day, the Lord will
return, or you’ll be charged a late fee." (Alan Ray)

French President Jacques Chirac named Steven Spielberg a Knight in the
French Legion of Honor last night, but the ceremony was not without

describing him as "the Jew from America responsible for '1941,' and
'Jurassic Park 2.' (Jake Novak)

William Kennedy Smith was sued for sex assault by his employee Audra

to America to work for him. The producers of Alien versus Predator
couldn't buy this kind of publicity. (Argus Hamilton)

Michael Moore decided Monday to submit Fahrenheit 9/11 for the Academy
Award for Best Picture against The Passion of the Christ. What a huge

United States, now he's trying to beat Jesus. (Argus Hamilton)

Michael Moore is submitting "Fahrenheit 9/11" to the Oscar voters for
"Best Picture," and not in the "Best Documentary" category. That's

fiction. (Jake Novak)

Eskimo kid-what would you do for a Klondike Bar? (Jay Leno)

are the rest rooms. (Alan Ray)

College students head back to campus. This is a chance for an 18-22
year old to grow. Marijuana in his dorm room. (Alan Ray)

out in between beers. (Alan Ray)

things have gotten out of hand. (Brad Simanek)

LEGAL DISCLAIMERS

The statements of Big Brother 2004 is an attempt to make George
Orwell’s prophetic book, written over a half century ago, more relevant
to the 21st century. Any resemblance of the statements of Big Brother
2004 to those of any person, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
(Stan Kegel)
